PARTITION OF PALESTINE
SUPPORT GIVEN BY JEWS IN CANADA
(Rec. 9.40 p.m.) OTTAWA, Sept. 4. The United Zionist Council, which claims to speak for all but a few of Canada’s 170,000 Jews, has issued a statement giving almost unqualified support to the majority report of the United Nations Commission on Palestine, which recommends the partition of the Holy Land. The council, however, disagreed with some details. It contended that the difficulties of development and of maintaining order would be increased by awarding portion of Galilee to the Arabs.
The council declared that the dependent status of Palestine on Britain should be terminated and that there should be an alliance between Jewish Palestine and Britain.
